The ACE team conducts driving while impaired and driver’s license checkpoints, as well as street-level investigations on controlled substances.

The ACE team works with the sheriff’s office K-9 Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Unit to apprehend narcotics suspects as well as saturating hot spots where criminal activity is reported.
